Broken bone but didn't know?

Has anyone broken a bone but didn't know? What i mean is didn't realise it was broken for a while after??

About 10 days ago i fell over and hurt my arm, could move it forwards but not back. My mum was round and she said i'd be in agony if it was broken (never broken a bone before so i wouldn't know). The next day I could move it better but still ached so thought i'd pulled a muscle, now 10 days later it still hurts if i move it a certain way, pick things up or lean on it. But its not 'agony' as my mum put it, although it does take my breath away when i get the pain. Any ideas as what i could have done? Don't want to go to a+e unless i really need to

Bad mum.......:o(

I haven't broken any bones.....touch wood, but my Daughter came in once complaining that she had fallen off her bike and really hurt her arm....concerned that she had broken it I did the whole wriggle your fingers routine, she could also rotate her wrist right round. Well she can't have broken it....I assumed! This was on a friday, on a sunday she fell over when we were at the beach and was really complaining about her arm again, but she could still wriggle her fingers, rotate her wrist and there wasn't any swelling.
Decided that I should take the trip over to A&E just to be on the safe side , and imagine my horror when they told me she HAD fractured her arm. She had a buckle fracture, so the bone hadn't snapped as you might imagine.
She was put in plaster for 3 weeks and then couldn't weight bear for 6, but all in all she was fine!!!

Felt like such a bad mum, and my daughter didn't let me forget it for a while....)
But we met a lady in the waiting room who's son had done exactly the same and she had left it a couple of days as well!!!

When I was around 11-12 I fell out of a tree. Comedy gold now, landed on my head and everything and rolled over on my arm. A very kind man passing by took me home (never occured to me that he was a total stranger) and told my mum what happened. It was quite sore at first and we pondered over going to a+e but I had my school play that night and managed through all the big numbers! A few days later it was still painful so we took a trip to the hospital and I had broken my wrist and arm! So yes is it possible. I guess some people have a much higher pain threshold

When I was 10 I had a new bike for Christmas - I fell off it on Boxing day and landed on my arm - 5 days later mum took me to the GP and was sent for an X-ray - turned out I had broken the main bone in my wrist 2/3 along!

I wouldn't go to A&E as I think it has to be within 48hrs of accident happening - I would go to your GP and ask for an X ray

I had my scaphoid broken when i was 12. It hurt, but not agony and as my Mum thought you wouldnt be able to move your arm, I wasnt taken to hosptial for 3 months. In that time the pain got worse and worse and what was happening was a hairline, greenstick fracture was shattering. Ended up with 3 years in and out of short arm plasters, referral to specialist orthoapedic and then a full arm, with electro-magnetic therapy. 1st person in England it failed on and a few years later I had a bone graft from my right hip and i have a pin holding the wrist together. All would have been healed with a 6 week plaser if i had been treated at the right time.
Could be a bad sprain, but until you are x rayed, no one can say.

Yup! broke a bone in my foot after i dropped a kitchen sideboard on it while moving... thought i was fine then after a week of wearing heels for work realised my foot was healing in that position whoops!!! took years to get my foot properly flat!!! (I was 18 and an idiot at the time lol)

When I was a kid my Dad accidently sat his chair leg on my foot. I complained to my Mum but she didn't think it was that bad. Years later I found out it had been broken and it had repaired itself!!
So yes it is possible. I'd go to the Docs if I were you x
